  1. Watch Rashid dismiss Cummins

  2. Aus 176-7

    Smith 73, Starc 5

    Five dot balls from Liam Plunkett and then Mitchell Starc takes a single off the final ball. That's perfect for England.

  4. Aus 175-7

    Has the whole country come to a standstill?

    Excellent bowling from Plunkett. Four balls without a run.

    Painful paying for WiFi on this train to Bedford. Worth it for the lady next to me jumping out of her seat after my Wilhelm scream for that Maxwell wicket.

  6. Aus 175-7

    Mitchell Starc can be dangerous with the bat. He has a high score of 52*. He nails a drive but the fielder cuts it off.

  7. Liam Plunkett will bowl the 41st over.

  8. Aus 175-7

    Smith 73, Starc 4

    Can one of Matthew's mates go and lock him in a dark room for the rest of the day?

    10 overs to go.

    Can Australia scrape to a competitive total? Will England bowl the Aussies out?

    Chris Dunn: I think a few people might owe Adil an apology.

    Matthew Harris: All seven wickets have come during the brief periods when I haven't been able to hear TMS. I'm getting as far away from a radio as I can for the rest of the day.

  10. How's stat?!

    Test Match Special statistician

    Australia's tail end batting has been a problem. Their numbers 8-11 inclusive average 12.4, the third worst of any team in this tournament.

    England's average 20 at a strike-rate of 98 - the strongest tail in the tournament.

  11. Aus 174-7

    Single to Smith. England won't mind that. They've got three weeks to work out how to get him out before the Ashes. Just focus on the others today.

  12. Aus 171-7

    Mark Wood returns and almost gets the crucial wicket of Steve Smith first up. Gasps and groans from the Edgbaston crowd as the ball beats the edge.

  13. You've got your priorities right!

    This isn't going anywhere Kate...

    In Siena for the day but the sculptures of the great masters in the Duomo must wait...my boyfriend needs to stay at a cafe to use the free WiFi for score updates via the family whatsapp group...better order another aperol spritz

  15. Aus 171-7

    Smith 70, Starc 3

    Not to be for Archer. He's shaking his head after a wide final delivery. Still, I think he'd have snapped your hands off if you offered him 2-32 in a World Cup semi-final.

    Well bowled.

  16. Aus 169-7

    Jofra Archer is going to bowl his final over. He'll have three balls at Starc after Smith takes a single.

    There are two blokes in front of me with masks of Ricky Gervais and Steve Carrell. Interesting choice for a World Cup semi-final. Must be fans of The Office. One of them has a sleeping child over his right shoulder and some chips in his left hand. Multi-tasking.

  18. Jofra for PM?

  19. Tom Fordyce
    BBC chief sports writer at Edgbaston

    Pretty much everything has worked for Eoin Morgan and England today. Brilliant opening spells. Archer brought back to get rid of Maxwell. Rashid three big middle-overs wickets. Puts slip in for Cummins, catch taken

    Adil Rashid took 3-25 in his final six overs.
